Where to buy? I recommend Boots because then you'll get lots of Advantage Card Points on it!

When D&G launched their 'fragrance anthology' a couple of years ago, L'Impératrice jumped out as the star of the show - for us gals anyhow. The four other scents in the collection just aren't as original and some of them are of course aimed at men.

L'Impératrice is just the most delicious fruity, juicy sweet fragrance and is instantly recognisable, however I thankfully haven't detected it on too many people on the tube so it hasn't gone the way of the equally gorgeous but too ubiquitous Light Blue. A dear friend of mine was once told she smelled better than rotisserie chicken while wearing it. It was a great compliment. Some people just love their chicken! I'm going to leave my description of the scent there as I'm not a fragrance connoisseur but check out the descriptions on Make Up Alley where it scores 4.3/5.

I picked it up in duty free for around £32 which was great value for 100mls. Check it out next time you're near a perfume counter - it's one of my Holy Grails (a second this week!) which will be consistently repurchased from here on in!
